Architect - Software Architect
About the position
At Northrop Grumman, our employees have incredible opportunities to work on revolutionary systems that impact people's lives around the world today, and for generations to come. Our culture thrives on intellectual curiosity, cognitive diversity, and bringing your whole self to work - and we have an insatiable drive to do what others think is impossible. We are looking for you to join our team as an Embedded Software Architect based out of Woodland Hills, CA. As an Embedded Software Architect at Northrop Grumman, you will have a challenging and rewarding opportunity to be a part of our Enterprise-wide digital transformation. Using Model-based Engineering, DevSecOps, and Agile practices, we continue to evolve how we deliver critical national defense products and capabilities for the warfighter. The Future Positioning Navigation Timing Systems (FPNTS) team at Northrop Grumman Mission Systems (NGMS) is looking for a Senior Software Technical Leader to join our team as an Embedded Software Architect for Software Defined Receiver. This person will provide technical leadership of our Embedded Software Navigation R&D portfolio for military applications and is based out of Woodland Hills, CA. You will architect and develop embedded software platforms utilizing C, C++, Ada, or related languages to support research and development of Software Defined Receivers (SDR). You will shape leading-edge SDR systems for GPS, GNSS, and other cooperative signals, including advanced signal processing techniques. In this role, you will lead a software team and navigation and timing experts in a team-based collaborative environment dedicated to advancing the state of the art. You will apply your research and development skills to architect real-world products and capabilities well beyond purely academic or theoretical frameworks. This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret clearance and the ability to work onsite full-time. You will be expected to demonstrate experience developing embedded software utilizing C, C++, Ada, or related languages, typically with 10+ years of experience. You should also have experience developing software using Green Hills Integrity Real-time Operating Systems, board support packages (BSP), Green Hills Multi IDE, and/or Wind River VxWorks RTOS/BSP for C/C++ or equivalent development tools. Additionally, you will need expert knowledge of signal selection, acquisition and tracking, Position, Velocity, and Time (PVT) calculation, data demodulation, signal correction, jamming, and spoofing or related applications. Your experience should also include algorithm development for satellite acquisition, tracking, and receiver measurement formation, as well as GPS receiver tracking loops, including characterization of platform dynamics, environmental/interference effects, and jamming mitigation techniques on GPS processing.
